Oh shut up.
You throw bitch fits over fictional women with curves in video games and call them "unrealistic" and "harmful."
Meanwhile, you defend Cuties, a film featuring real underage girls twerking in skimpy outfits and performing sexually suggestive moves.
You shame real women by saying big breasts aren't "real" unless they've got implants.
You don't get to body-shame women while supporting media that sexualizes actual children.
No one takes you people seriously. Your double standards are disgusting.
Jealous pigs.
this is what Collective Shout thinks abt ur games. abt a medium that brings joy, connection, & saves lives. abt a space where ppl find community, creativity, & healing.
according to Collective Shout, gaming is inherently misogynistic, exploitative, & abusive. their post is FULL of sweeping generalizations & so many lies it's actually disgusting.
~ "many of these games involve misogyny..." this paints the entire gaming medium w/ 1 brush, ignoring the diversity of genres, creators, & stories. it's like saying "movies promote crime" just cuz some depict gangsters, or "books glorify violence" cuz they mention war.
~ "female characters are often depicted as weak..." 100% BS. gaming has produced some of the most iconic & empowered female protagonists in media: Lara Croft, Eve, Tifa Lockhart, Aloy, Kasumi, Chun-Li, Bayonetta, Samus Aran, Ellie, Faith Connors, & more. this claim erases decades of progress & nuance.
~ "they wear revealing clothes or appear naked..." stylized character design ≠ exploitation. many games let u customize, & both male + female characters get sexualized depending on genre. this criticism ignores context, player agency, & artistic freedom. & btw, sexualization isn't inherently a bad thing. ppl express themselves thru fashion, aesthetics, & fantasy all the time. empowerment comes from choice & self-expression. shaming it is moral policing. trying to erase that is just another form of control. honestly?? it's jealousy. u don't get to rewrite culture just cuz u don't vibe w/ it.
~ "some games even encourage the exploitation & abuse of women to unlock rewards..." this is a serious accusation w/ zero credible evidence. mainstream games don't reward abuse. making this claim w/o receipts is irresponsible. it's reckless, dishonest, & straight up dangerous. it spreads fear, fuels censorship, & smears the ppl actually making games better.
~ the post implies that enjoying games makes u complicit in misogyny. that's a hostile, dehumanizing take. it guilt-trips players & erases the women shaping the medium.
u clearly haven't played the games ur condemning. if u had, u'd know they're way more nuanced than ur distorted take. gaming is one of the most diverse storytelling platforms on earth, reducing it to "abuse simulators" is dishonest. it's insulting to the creators & players who've built entire worlds of meaning.
u say ur fighting for women, but u erase the voices of women who game, who create, & who choose to express themselves freely in fiction. ur not protecting anyone. ur pushing censorship disguised as activism. fiction ≠ violence. artistic freedom matters.
my girls + female dev friends saw the post. all disgusted. they also helped me write these points, bc they've lived it, built it, & know what gaming really is. yes, gaming isn't perfect, no medium is. but it's a space of innovation, expression, resilience, & defiance. posts like this don't protect women, they silence them, they attack culture. & they don't seek change, they seek control.
this all stems from jealousy & envy toward attractive women. that's why they call hot women w/ boobs "pornified." they hate seeing men & women having fun. it's the same tired male gaze narrative being weaponized again, not to protect women or girls, but to shame men & erase female agency.
@MetalSonic48 @i_am_kasane @OMGYama@rock10zxa@grok M8 the AI literally used the DSM-5 and ICD-11 as a source. Two of most relied standards of diagnosing and you're straight up denying those.
The things that came out about this guy are wild.
He deleted the discord to hide evidence of actual child grooming.
How come all the people giving chibi crap over anime because “muh keedz” loli crap are so quiet? Why aren’t they eager to harass and threaten an actual groomer?
Oh. Right. Because it’s never actually about that and they’re all just a bunch of psychos.
